I've never owned a car with fog lights. Are they worth a crap?

http://www.andruschak.net/mike/Mike-1973.jpg Lucas Square 8 lamps, two pairs, driving and fog.

I do not over drive my lights.

Went up the Tioga Pass at night, 60-80 mph. As I would catch up behind someone I would kill the pencils. Closer I would kill my stock high beams and the fogs, now using his lights to see the road. As I passed the other vehicle he will kill his high beams; I would hit the high beams and all four Lucases. Unbelievable difference.

All that candle power on the front was sort like a fuse for the Pinto's infamous rupturing gas tank in the rear, no? Grin

Triangular headlights are all over eBay. For example:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chromed-Triangle-Headlight-5-1-2-w-Hi-Low-H6-b...

It mounts on the bottom, similar to the stock Savage headlight, but with one bolt instead of two. You'd need to drill a hole or make a bracket. Old school choppers used to mount two, one above the other.

Loving the figure 8 lights, wonder if they are dual or single filament each. Not too excited about mounting 2 headlights to keep the high beem.

Paladin, how would you mount those huge 10" diameter lights at http://www.speedwaymotors.com/1932-Ford-Headlights,3023.html?

How I would? I have no idea. I'm old, but not THAT old -- I didn't have a '32. (Dad did! but I was only 6-8 years old back then.) I simply do something that might do. Try something else. Eventually get something that works.

It's a Harris Tweed jacket/blazer/sport coat -- I got it from Scotland around '67 (the picture is from about '73 or '74.) Harris Tweed is an extremely tough material.

The firearm is a Spainish clone of a circa 1900 English shotgun, a .410 bore external hammer side by side. Just about 4.5 pounds. Picked it up around '71 or so.

I had an awesome Harris Tweed trenchcoat I bought at a thrift store for like $12.

Reply #23 - 06/04/11 at 19:18:19 Has anyone ever tried one of these DELTA 88 headlights from Custom Chrome. They are about $150 including the bulb!!! Side mounts are extra, but pretty cheap. Around $35 on Ebay... I use them on my custom XS650 builds, but I've never tried it on a standard Savage front end.

Standard 7" round sidemount bucket, English style instead of the goofy early Japanese style.

Mounting a 32 Ford light would be pretty easy. Bend up a heavy aluminum bracket, drill holes that match triple tree holes, drill holes that match bnucket holes. Paint or polish the bracket. Add stainless or polished brass/bronze hardware.

Here's how the sidemount looks installed, pre-respray...

Want a really easy swap? Go to Kawasaki and order a 1500/1600 Classic headlight if you want it chrome, 1500 Drifter if you want it black. You'll drop a few hundred bucks, but they use the same base mount...
